I would say Premium Outlets which is closer to DTD is much bigger and has a nice selection of shops

LBV for our first Outlet experience 8 years ago and they have expanded it since.

It is a large outdoor circle of shops with a small food court.

Orlando Premium Outlets has mostly the same selection and a few more more shops but has a bigger food court.

My advice would be to go to Premium Outlets as it is about 2 miles nearer to down town disney.

However, if you hit the sales at the right time, don't miss the Florida Mall which is a good 4 miles further away. The food court is much bigger and it is all under cover. Although a full price mall, there are often some great bargains to be had.

There are also enough gadget and gizmo shops to keep most men really happy.

Myself and both my lads enjoy going and none of us are the type to enjoy clothes shopping for more than 20 mins...............in a lifetime

I would hit Premium Outlets as well,

We bought lots of Tommy Hilfinger clothes for DD, two pairs of jeans and 4 long sleeve rugby type tops for $45. Plenty of stuff from the Osh Gosh shop as well. DW bought a couple of Fossil bags and I bought two pairs of Timberland jeans for $42. Some good deals in the Samsonite store as well!

Premium Outlets in my opinion different class to Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores - personally don't feel it's worth a visit.
The one exception is the 'World Of Coffee' cafe where internet access is extremely cheap and very handy if you are either staying in a Kissimmee villa or want to avoid paying double the price at a Disney resort.

My main reason for visiting LBV outlets is the GAP, it always has a good selection and does kids stuff. I also like Carters, converse and osh kosh here I find them better than the same stores at Premium. Overall Premium has a better selection of stores and a better food court.

It should be pretty easy to get a taxi to DTD from here although I think there is a shuttle service have you checked their website?

Another vote for the converse store , Gap and Old navy is great . We also use World of coffee for internet great price and really friendly owners ,

Internet place is good But if you are only going to hit one outlet this shouldn't be the one.

Is the LBV Outlets the one on the 535 (Apopka Vineland Road I think)? They have a Rawlings store there and my kid wanted some baseball things. First time we went tho, about 7:10pm, the place was all closed and deserted.

We ended up getting it opened one afternoon, although we only visited that shop. I think we were all shopped - and spent - out after our previous visits to the Premium Outlets

For years we would go to the LBV outlets (after going to the other 2 big ones). For years I was dissapointed in the selection and food court.
The we discovered the world of coffee (great for lunch and afternoon tea), and I have to admit that since the demise of Belz I view it in a different light. It is quieter and more relaxing than the Premium outlets or Prime.
I probably wouldn't go there in place of one of the others as they definitely have more choice but I actually look forward to it now.

Either.

But a taxi will take you there in about 10 mins. It is less than 5 miles.
